ENCOUNTERS IN THE GALLERY. WEEKEND VISITS

Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings we invite you to visit the exhibitions with Madrid Negro, who will usher you through the different proposals via their visit project ‘Zafra or how to harvest rebellion’.

Discover Busy Looking for Soursops with them, the show by the Venezuelan artist Sol Calero, which invites us to plunge into her colourful world. Through her works, we explore the concept of movement and the experience of migration, of being born in one place and inhabiting another. Calero, who lived in Tenerife and Madrid before moving to Berlin, channels her Latina identity and multicultural background in her works.

In Busy Looking for Soursops, the exuberance of the colours and the exoticisation of the Latin American symbols intertwine in murals and collages. The artist invites us to reflect on the tourist’s perspective and to discover new meanings in each work.

Along with this show, we’ll visit 1502 Persons Facing the Wall, the exhibition by Santiago Sierra, who is known for his critical stance. His work is immersed in the social reality and conditions of production and reception. Sierra confronts us with what often remains hidden and silenced. The ‘radicality’ of his works challenges spectators to reflect and debate.

Saturdays at 6:30 pm and Sundays at 12:30 pm.
